Hercules unveils DJ Console Mk4

Hercules, a specialist in digital DJing, has unveiled the DJ Console Mk4, a mixing console with a compact design and analog audio source connectivity. This new mixer for amateur or mobile DJ’s is an updated version of the company's bestselling the DJ Console and DJ Console Mk2. The portable Mk4 controller includes two decks and a high-performance audio interface and is designed to be an all-in-one DJ station for PC and Mac.

With a wider body than previous models, the Mk4's has a metallic-colored top with a see-through plate and new body. It also includes more precise jog wheels, 4 browser buttons instead of a joystick, more space between the cross fader and jog wheels and backlit buttons for ease of use during low-light conditions.

The Mk4 is compact (7.36” x 10.4” x 2.5”) and at 2.5 pounds is lighter than a laptop computer with large, non-slip feet for stability while mixing. The Mk4 also includes a high-performance audio interface:

• Two decks for mixing digital audio files
• Two jog wheels for moving within tracks, adjusting speed of playback, applying scratching effects and more.
This new Hercules controller comes bundled with VirtualDJ® DJC Edition, easy-to-learn yet powerful mixing software that provides users with a wealth of useful functions including audio file analysis for calculating music tracks’ BPM, suggesting a cue point and more. The console also includes functions for synchronizing tracks as well as for applying automatic loops and multiple effects for users who want to add their own personal touch to their musical creations or record their mixes as audio files. Hercules also includes a graphic skin that can be placed underneath the see-through plate on top of the controller, allowing users to give a unique look to their console.
